Visualization Engineer 5 - AI Infrastructure & Productivity Tooling

At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology. Come be a part of what’s next.

Everything that we build to delight our members, and all of the work we do to figure out how to do that better, relies on our extensive infrastructure, which spans what we rent from AWS and AI vendors, to what we build ourselves (we operate our own custom-built content delivery network, Open Connect). Because this infrastructure is so central to everything we do, we want to ensure we use it as effectively and efficiently as possible. Doing that well starts with great visibility into how we use our infrastructure, along with actionable metrics and analytics to help us act as needed.

As a Senior Visualization Engineer, you will join a team of Analytics Engineers, Data Engineers, and Data Scientists who partner with our infrastructure engineering and productivity teams to design and build visualization tools that help us make better decisions about our AI platforms, products, and usage. These tools will serve a diverse set of technical and non-technical stakeholders, from executives and engineering leadership making company-level investment decisions, to individual contributors looking to understand and optimize their usage. You will work closely with engineering leadership and our Strategy, Planning & Analysis partners to understand the most important decisions to be made in the AI Infrastructure and productivity space, and will then collaborate with Analytics Engineers and strategy partners to tell that story through building and optimizing a performant, user-centric suite of infrastructure visualizations.

The ideal candidate will excel in data analytics, storytelling with data, cross-functional collaboration, and share a passion for continuously improving the way we use data to make the Netflix infrastructure better.

• Work with Analytics Engineers and our Data Engineering partners to ensure we have high-quality data to support the products we are building.

• An exceptional communicator with both technical and non-technical audiences. 
• Comfortable with ambiguity and thrive with minimal oversight and process.
